Here is the promised second half of episode 71. During the Warhammer 40k 8th edition launch party in Abington Andrew interviews a bunch of people about 40k, the new edition, the new figures, the new rules and general painting and preparation.

There is more going on at Battleground this week than can be contained in a single podcast so we’re splitting this week’s episode in two. In this first part we cover all the “what’s going on at Battleground” stuff you would expect in the first half of a normal episode. We also talk briefly about the massive Magic the Gathering infodump we got this week with news about Magic product coming out over the next year.

Finally we get to do our big 40k 8th edition interview as the release looms in the near future. There is so much to be excited about and so much going on in all three stores. Also tidbits about new releases and cool stuff coming soon.

We had every intention of making this the all 40k 8th edition episode, but things did not work out the way we had them planned. We do have a short interview from Al and Matt at the Norton location about 40k, and after that Andrew and Amanda talk about not talking about 40k. Then we talk about why we’re not talking about leaked Magic cards. Then we talk about new social media available for folks who want to connect with Battleground.

Lots to talk about today! In the first half Andrew and Amanda try to summarize all the many, many events that go on in our stores every week. In the second half we interview Chase and Jam about the new Saugus store. Already Saugus is building a great north shore gaming community and we talk about plans and dreams for the new location.
